New Key Green Feature: Vendor Map
Our new Vendor Map has proven to be an invaluable tool for our customers with multiple facilities. The Vendor Map allows users to view details about every facility’s vendors. At a glance, you will be able to see all the different electricity, natural gas, water, and waste vendors the facilities in your organization use. Viewing the actual data for these vendors is simple. Just click on the vendor name and you will be brought to the specific Data Collection page for that facility’s vendor.
The search field enables you to filter the Vendor Map. For example, if a user wanted to find all the facilities within their organization that used a particular electricity vendor, all that person needs to do is type the vendor name in the search field.
Once contract end dates have been added to your vendors, the Vendor Map then becomes more robust because you then have the option of viewing your contract end dates in the Vendor Map. This can be useful for renegotiating new contracts in the future.
Key Green is committed to help our customers use their data and create meaningful informational reports.

On November 10, 2011, the University of Maryland Medical Center and Denise Choiniere, sustainability manager, are winners of Maryland Hospitals for Healthy Environment (MD H2E) awards.
The first annual Nursing Leadership in Environmental Health Award was presented to Denise Choiniere, MS, RN, sustainability manager for University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC). Choiniere, the first full-time sustainability manager in a Maryland hospital, spearheaded a number of environmental initiatives at UMMC, including a hazardous pharmaceutical waste management program, Earth Day events, and a weekly farmers’ market.
UMMC won the Trailblazer award for focusing on lighting conservation and upgrades in the past year. The goals of their project included turning off lights when not in use and when daylight is sufficient in atriums and hallways, replace inefficient light bulbs with more efficient bulbs, and establish a baseline to monitor changes. Occupancy sensors and photo cell sensors were installed and lights in mechanical rooms were placed on automated controls.
Denise and her leadership team utilizes Key Green Solutions software suite to manage their sustainability program.
